An ad is screwing up my browser!

We have rules meant to keep our advertisements sanely
polite, but occasionally one slips by that breaks them.

You can add a badge or link to your page (or for a

to easily allow your readers to submit it to Slashdot
for consideration; and once submitted, take them to the
discussion.

A Slashdot badge is an easy, powerful tool to do this.

Most of the trolls and useless stuff comes from "Anonymous Coward" posters. Why not eliminate anonymous posting?

Please email
feedback@slashdot.org
with as much relevant detail as you can. (When? What
browser, and what version, under what OS? Did you get
an error message, and if so what was it? Screenshots
are great, too. We appreciate it!)
